Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier reportedly agrees terms ahead of a potential transfer to Bayern Munich in January.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier is allegedly on the brink of signing for Bayern Munich.

After nine years in the first team where he accumulated 361 appearances in all competitions, Dier's 10th campaign with the North Londoners has not gone as he would have hoped.

The 29-year-old does not feature in the plans of head coach Ange Postecoglou and has been restricted to just 198 minutes of Premier League football.

That is despite Spurs having struggled for strength-in-depth in the area courtesy of the suspension and injuries to Cristian Romero and hamstring issue for Micky van de Ven.

With less than six months remaining on his contract, it is a foregone conclusion that the England international will depart the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium either in January or the summer.

In recent days, it has been well documented that Spurs are attempting to sign Genoa's Radu Dragusin, although the acquisition of the Romania international appears to be less of a certainty than it had previously seemed.

Nevertheless, according to Football Insider, Dier is already preparing to leave England's capital to make the switch to the Allianz Arena.

The report alleges that personal terms have been agreed with the Bundesliga giants and a transfer will be completed once Spurs sign a replacement.

Spurs officials are said to be prepared to retain Dier's services for the remainder of 2023-24 if they unable to sufficiently improve their options over the coming weeks.

That said, cashing in on the versatile Englishman would suit all parties, notably freeing up space on the Spurs wage bill ahead of entering the market for other targets.

Bayern's pursuit of Dier has reportedly been supported by former teammate Harry Kane, who has starred for Thomas Tuchel's side since arriving from Spurs during the summer transfer window.

Should the transfer go through, Tuchel would be signing another experienced head for the middle of his backline and securing further competition in central midfield, another area where Bayern have sometimes been lacking.

With Germany's winter break ending next week, Bayern return to action on January 12 with a home fixture against Hoffenheim.
